In reply to: Question about becoming a college track and field athlete.  posted by G.K.Chesterton


The NCAA allows 12.7 scholarships for each Men's and Women's Track & Field. This also includes Cross Country. These scholarships are dispersed as the coach sees fit. Notre Dame, under Piane, was considered more a distance running school so I'm guessing scholarships were weighted more that way (and I'm guessing still are). The advantage for offering distance runners a bigger "chunk" is that you get them for two sports - Track & Cross Country

I would have your friend contact coaches (even at this early date). I'm sure they can answer many questions. Notre Dame's are listed in link below

Also on ND's Track & Field website (under "Recruits") is this questionnaire:

And ND has Track & Field camps which I'm sure would help as well:
